I Finally Finished a Craft that I Started!!! Crochet!

Baby Boy has decided he likes hats.  All of his are too small….Enter Mommy:

 
I decided to crochet myself a scarf.  I told Doc about it and he fails to see why I would want a scarf with holes in it.  Fashion, my dear…it is not always practical!!

 
I am starting some Christmas gifts…These will be hanging [...]

Baseball isn’t just for Boys

Cool Story!!
I grew up on a softball field…and also a bowling alley…but that is a different story for a different day.  I ran across this article today and thought it was noteworthy!!

Friday Night Plans with the Kids

I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with the boys tonight.  I want to do something besides stay home.  The wind is up really bad and it is a little cool, so outside events are not a good idea.  We don’t have hardly any money to work with (we will using next week’s [...]

Sad story…

Love your family and your friends…give to them when they truely need…one day it could be you.
I was with a woman today who is probably in her mid-seventies and she is having heart surgery on Tuesday.  I met her several weeks back because I sell Avon to her.  Anyway, today I dropped off her Avon book and she waved me [...]

Declaring War on Mommy

My boys have decided to declare war on me today.  Big Brother used the psychological war…he took advantage of me when my mind was tired and stretched my patience thin.  Baby Boy chose the a more tactical method…he would throw his bombs in highly (probably not) conceived positions when I was not looking or expecting [...]

“Fool Me Once…”

I walked into our living room yesterday to find this:

Actually they were all over the floor, but before blog ideas came to mind, I made him pick them up.  A whole box, people!!!  So, what did I do?  I waited until naptime and folded them all back up.  I put them on top of the [...]

Racism Over? I Don’t Think So.

 
As I read articles on the various news websites I peruse each day, I found a debate about whether this means racism is over…  My thoughts were, Uh, No!  Just because we elect a Black man as president doesn’t mean we have no racism in America…  For some reason, it seems, there are many out [...]

To the People of America…

 
In case you missed this extraordinary historical acceptance speech from President Elect, Barack Obama…please take an opportunity to listen. 

Even if you don’t agree with him, listen…for he will be your leader for the next 4 years.  This speech is inspiring and historic, even if you don’t agree in what it stands for.  [...]

Stinky B*tt

I have been left to ponder the question, “What is it with Boys and F*rts?!?!”  I am flabbergasted!!
Tonight, Big Brother got to stay up late because I tutored from 8pm-9pm.  I finished and told him it was time to go to bed, but that I wanted to cuddle him first.  (He was abnormally hyper…not sure [...]

You Think You Slept Bad…

Until you have woken up with half your diaper on, and half of it off (the crucial half being off in the front, of course)…and soaked in pee…you have not slept badly.
Yes, this happened to Baby Boy this afternoon.  I put him down for his nap today in just his diaper (we’ve done this before [...]

The Boy Loves the W*bc*m!!

Ha!  This may be easier than I imagined!  Big Brother “saw” Doc on the w*bc*m tonight.  He didn’t say he missed Doc even once today!  He cannot wait to talk with Daddy again!  I know it will wear off eventually, but it seems to be helping with the distance.
Oh, and I love it!!  I get [...]

Okay, Admit It!!

How many of you out there steal candy from your kid’s Halloween stash? 
 
How many of you go through your kids candy after Trick or Treating and put all of the things that will not get eaten back into your bowl to give to other kids?
 
How many of you take a bag for your less [...]

What’s Going on In Our House…

It seems like it should be colder…with it being November and all.  
Big Brother is already teling me how I don’t play cars like Daddy!  I told him that No, I don’t play cars.  Mommy doesn’t like to play cars.  Want to go to the park?  We can have a picnic and take the bikes.  (Ha! [...]

Forgive Me If this is Insensitive…

How stupid and selfish can you be?  I saw this article on Fox News after hearing about it on the radio.  I cannot believe this person!!
 
If I were Obama, I would be asking:  “Did he vote?”
